“Moses said to the people, ask now of the days of old, before your time, ever since God created man upon the earth” As we listen to these words that were given today, ask yourself, do they have a special meaning for us, right now today? “Ask now of the days of old before your time, ever since God created man upon the earth.”  So Moses is saying, consider all the past, all that has gone before, since the very beginning of creation. And then he says, “ask from one end of the sky to the other.” So asking for all, for the whole earth, for all that has happened over the whole earth. And so what is he saying? What did he ask? “Did anything so great. ever happened before?” Has anything like what you’re experiencing ever happened anywhere? That’s the question Moses is asking the people. “Was it ever heard of, that if people ever hear the voice of God, speaking from the midst of fire as you did, and live?”  That is, not be completely annihilated by the voice of God. But he is saying, this, that you have experienced, that God himself speaking from the voice, or he says, “from the midst of the fire?” “Or did any god venture to go and take a nation for himself from the midst of another nation.” And it’s not just any other nation, this is the superpower of its time, the pharaoh’s Egypt, “did any god venture to go and take a nation for himself from the midst of another nation?” And how did he do it? “By testing’s, by signs and wonders,”” signs and wonders, “by war, with strong hand and outstretched arm.” So the strong hand and outstretched arm of God Himself, “and by great terrors, all of which the Lord your God did for you in Egypt, before your very eyes.” That is he’s saying to them, this is not something that you heard about. This is something that you saw; that you experienced, something that has never happened before. Something that is unprecedented, we use that word easily unprecedented. But this is truly unprecedented. Something that’s why Moses gives us a solemn introduction has never happened before, what God has done for you in this exodus. And so I think that this, as I say, I think this has a special meaning for the time that we are living right now. The Israelites were living in a time of extreme oppression, by the power of Pharaoh, great suffering that caused them to cry out to God until the moment in which God acted, God intervened, not a God who is so far away, not a God who is powerless, but a God who is close, who acts and which no human power, can resist, no power at all can resist. No human power, no, no diabolical power can resist. And so as I say, what does that mean for us today? Because we also are suffering, a great oppression. An oppression that is so heavy, that we don’t even realize it oftentimes, because we’ve gotten so used to it. But it still is affecting us, weighing us down. A very heavy suffering, this heavy cross that is weighing on God’s people. To what God is speaking about, to the messages, the messages that we’ve began to share is His upcoming intervention. His astounding, unprecedented intervention, unprecedented. Because that’s what you know, the after, after the gospel, the New Testament the New Testament ends with a great book of Revelation. Speaking in mysterious language about what is to come. That God is not done with His marvels. But the greatest power of Jesus Christ is still to be manifested, as the book of Revelation shows. And so the astounding thing for us, because, you know, the Lord in the prophetic messages, I mean, this, the we’re living right now has already been prophesied in Scripture. In the Old Testament, in the New Testament, as I say, in the book of Revelation. There’s also been a number of manifestations like the Marian apparitions, like Jesus manifestation to St. Faustina. Many other prophetic words, prophetic words of our time, speaking of this, of what we right now are living. And, to me, what is so encouraging, is there, we’re already seeing, it’s like the light that the first lights of dawn, that are just beginning to pierce the darkness. And we’re seeing that so much. And hearing and from so many people who are already responding, who’s already sensing in their heart, that God who’s speaking through these messages, and they are really already feeling graces of peace, and consolation and, and hope and encouragement. Just two days ago, last Friday, I was speaking to a young man, yeah, of course, as you know, the weather has been very muggy, out here at the mission, I mean, all in this area. And so it’s not an easy time to be here. And as you can tell, the air conditioning in our chapel is not very effective. Right. So he was saying he had just discovered the mission a couple of weeks ago. And he said, “I’m so grateful that the mission is only 100 miles away.” That’s only, he said, Only 100 miles. And he was grateful to come spend the whole day at the mission, because he said I received so many Grace’s just being out here. You know, it’s not that we have a lot of activities. I mean, it’s not Disney World or something where there’s all sorts of fun things to do. It’s very, very simple, you know, very kind of poor. And yet he was receiving so many graces, but where there’s so many signs, and a lot of you right now sitting here are examples of that. And so that’s very encouraging for us to see the ways in which God is already, in fact, just the fact that we have so many of you here. Because when we were having to contemplate the step we were going to need to take, we didn’t know if anyone would hold, would hang on. And so just the fact that there’s so many of you here is such an encouragement. And already I would say like signs of God’s action, like I said that the first lights of dawn, which are beginning to shine of what the Lord is announcing for our time. St. Paul says, in the reading today, says “for those who are led by the Spirit of God, are sons of God, for you did not receive a spirit of slavery to fall back into fear. But you received a spirit of adoption, to whom we call Abba, Father, a Spirit of sonship.” And so it’s the Holy Spirit who is here acting today, acting with us. And so today, I wanted now, as we began this great reconquest, what the Lord has called a reconquest, a great reconquest. I want to share with you a message that our little community received two years ago, precisely on the vigil, that Sister received on the vigil of this feast of the Trinity. So that was June 11. That day, so it begins. “My Florecita, write. On this night, the beginning of the Great Feast of Our Trinity of our mystery, and all that is contained in it, we send down our special blessing over our little flock. Our little faithful handful.” So this has been translated I think from this is translated from Spanish, so handful, “Poquito” in Spanish, which means something just a little, just a little bit just like what the little bit that you can hold in your hand. “Our coworkers, our little victims who live and offer the oblation of faith and obedience, for the sake of the reconquest of all that is created.” So the faith and obedience preparing the reconquest of all that is created. And so then there’s a message from each member of the Trinity. First the Father, “Amen, most beloved children of my heart, I, Abba, your father, who gaze on you with tenderness and pride, bless and clasp you to my heart.” And so the reason I’m sharing this with you, so this was a message that we had just that we had received. And we just had to keep it for ourselves, for our little community, our little team here, but I’m sharing it with you, because I think as you, as your acts of faith, unite you to this great reconquest, this is not just for our team here, but it’s also for you. “I bless you and clasp you to my heart. And I grant you the grace of absolute fidelity to my will, yes, a very great grace, but necessary for your missions.” And then Sister adds a footnote here, she says, “I understand this grace as being able to fulfill the mission entrusted to us, despite our weakness, our humanity, despite how we feel, our fears and reasonings. That these missions are so important that they must be fulfilled, despite everything. And therefore special grace is necessary, together with our faith, because otherwise it would be impossible, and that our cooperation is above all by believing and abandoning ourselves to Him, and thus allowing Him to use us so that it is He Himself, who fulfills these missions in and through us.” So that’s her note. And so the message continues. “I give this grace to you, as a crown, placed over your forehead, to cover all fear, all doubt, so that everything may be annihilated in my will, my little ones, I love you.” And then there’s a little message from our Lord Jesus. “Now I, your Jesus, your brother, and Captain, your everything, bless You, I bless you with the holy wounds of my hands.” And here Sister adds a note, “as He said, these words, I perceived that He was placing His hands and wounds directly on each of our heads.” So as you’re listening to this, feel free to close your eyes, if that helps you to concentrate. The message continues. “I bless you with the holy wounds of my hands, sign of the fidelity unto death, the fidelity that is lived each day, and that culminates with the surrendering of everything, with the shedding of the very last drop of your blood.” And here Sister adds a note, “I sensed that even though there may be the red martyrdom, bloody martyrdom, for some or for all, that these words refer, especially to the spiritual part, the surrendering and abandoning of everything, everything, even to the very last part of our being of our lives.” So a different way of being a martyr. So the message continues, “where I have walked, you shall walk, and you shall always have me by your side. Do not fear. The wounds on my hands are also a purification for you, leaving you cleaner and cleaner and ready for the second part of your missions.” So I think the second part of your missions means that the first part was what our community has been living in this long, hidden life of preparation. And now we’re beginning the second part, which is beginning the public part. “Courage, my brothers, just a little more and you will see me, and my smile will be a recompense for everything”. So here recalling the promise of His manifestations, you will see me. “One step, one offering, another step, another offering, step by step, offering by offering, everything with me. I love you my little ones, little but strong.” And then there’s a message from the Holy Spirit. “And now I the Holy Spirit, bless you too. My blessing, that descends gently and imperceptibly now and reaches the very depths of your hearts but will become a living flame that will transform you visibly, when the time comes.” So here let us remember that, when Jesus on the day of His resurrection, breathed on the apostles, and said, Receive the Holy Spirit gave them the Holy Spirit. But it was like He’s saying here, gently, and imperceptibly, reaching into the depths, and then at Pentecost, it became a living flame that was transforming them visibly. The message continues, “how much light there will be in that moment, children, how much. So this is the new Pentecost that we were speaking of last week. “I am preparing everything in the depths of your being, where your site and senses cannot reach, and you only perceive darkness in nothing. But this darkness hides for now, my work in you.” That is, already in the depths of our being, beyond what we can perceive, He is at work. “I say to you, thank you for your faith that allows me to enter into your depths, and rebuild my dwelling as it was in the beginning before the fall. I say to you my children, do not be afraid. Your God rejoices and is glad in you,” your God rejoices and is glad in you. And here Sister adds a note. “As it has happened to me on many occasions after receiving a writing one of the readings from for the Mass the following day, seems to confirm or repeat something from the writing. These little, and at times very subtle confirmations are a great help to me. On this occasion, the reading was from Proverbs 8, for year C, that ends with the phrase, “and I found the light in the human race.” I found the light in the human race. Perhaps He chose to confirm these words in particular, because it seems difficult for us to believe or feel that God could rejoice in us; miserable individuals that we are. Then the Holy Spirit continues. “You are our rest because of your childlike faith. And because of your surrendering in everything. Amen. I bless you and am with you always.” And then finally, there’s a message, conclusion from our Blessed Mother “And I too My little children, bless you, your mother, who loves you so much, who weeps with you, who rejoices with you, who takes you into my arms to console to heal, and to strengthen you. My special blessing descends as a kiss upon your foreheads, marking you once more as my children are part of my heart. Come and rest in Me without words, without feelings, come and rest.” That is the rest might be beyond feelings that might not be something that we always perceive. “I take care of you and of all who belong to you. You are mine. And I take care of you. Your mother blesses you. Amen. Maranatha.” And so this feast of the Holy Trinity is an opportunity for us as we are living these times of the great reconquest, which is beginning now it is already beginning to renew our trust in the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, because He is preparing something even greater than the Exodus. The responsorial Psalm says, “Our soul waits for the Lord, who is our help and our shield. May your kindness oh Lord be upon us. We have put our hope in you.” And then the gospel today we heard the words of Jesus that are so familiar to us the words of Jesus at the ascension. And so on his feast of The Holy Trinity let us end by making once again, the act that we often do kind of as a routine, but making again the sign of the cross, that very powerful sign of the cross which is also the great privilege of us to be drawn in, to share in the life of the Trinity. So, let us make that slowly in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. Amen.
